Abstract

We revisit the problem of absorption by identical atoms with entanglement and symmetrization acting at once. We introduce the recoil of the atoms in the calculations and compare the results with those of distinguishable systems instead of mixtures. These absorption rates have been proposed to test entanglement-induced exclusion. The manifestation of exclusion in this framework is a sharp increase in the absorption rates in its proximity. The control of the superposition coefficients used in this representation is simpler than that of the overlapping degree considered in the initial proposal. Another result of this alternative approach is the inhibition of the entanglement effects for some values of the parameters.
